<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWearing a spooky mask can be a highlight of Halloween, but it can pose challenges for hearing aid users. Here are some tips for combining masks and hearing aids:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Choose masks carefully.<\/strong> Opt for lightweight and breathable masks, which will be more comfortable to wear alongside your hearing aids. Masks that you hold up with a stick or string will be more comfortable than over-the-head options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Prioritize comfort.<\/strong> Try on your mask in the store to make sure it doesn\u2019t pull on or dislodge your hearing aids.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
2. Showcasing Your Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Why not make your hearing aids part of your Halloween look? Accessories like colorful stickers or creative covers can add to your costume while keeping your hearing aids visible and well-functioning. Remember to practice caution when choosing decorations. Avoid using strong adhesives or materials that block your hearing aid components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Face Paint and Hair Spray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Face paint can turn your face into a cheerful ghost, and colored hairspray can add a vibrant splash of orange or green to your hairstyle. However, it’s essential to be mindful of where you apply these products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- For face paint<\/strong>. When applying face paint, keep it at least two inches from your hearing aids. Opt for non-drip paint that isn\u2019t likely to bleed over the course of the night.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For hairspray<\/strong>. Always remove your hearing aids before applying hairspray, and allow the product to dry before putting your devices back in. If you\u2019re spraying your whole head, put protective covers over your devices to protect them from the hairspray during your Halloween fun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
4. Halloween Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While Halloween games add excitement to any gathering, safety is key when it comes to hearing aids. Remember that water and hearing aids don\u2019t mix. If your festivities involve games like bobbing for apples, remove your hearing aids beforehand. If you’re playing games requiring blindfolds, avoid tying them too tightly, as it could put pressure on your devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 10% of people in the United States<\/a> live with some degree of hearing loss. Your hearing aids play a vital role in amplifying the eerie sounds of Halloween\u2014from the laughter of children trick-or-treating to the spooky tunes of monster soundtracks.
